A hundred and fifty years ago, the Blackfoot people witnessed the near-extinction of bison, one of the most important links to their identity, culture and spirituality – an act that nearly destroyed the tribe. Since then, the Blackfoot have endured a century long campaign of oppression and persecution from the United States government – a brutal and violent experience that they are only now healing from. Bring Them Home follows a small group of Blackfoot who are working to right these historic wrongs by returning wild bison to their lands – an act that would heal people, re-enliven traditional culture and bring economic opportunity to their community.

Please note: IWFF and The Roxy will be screening this title for a full week; however, only the first two screenings on October 10 will provide a conversation with director Daniel Glick!

Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo (Blackfeet: iinnii) back to the Blackfeet Reservation. A thriving wild buffalo population would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage, spirituality, and identity but would also provide economic opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way, however, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization.

Bring Them Home examines the deeply meaningful role that buffalo played in Blackfeet life beforethe arrival of settlers who eradicated wild buffalo to eradicate the Blackfeet people. For Blackfeet,the buffalo are not only as fundamental to a healthy ecosystem but as spiritual relatives. Theirremoval from the land meant the loss of the Blackfeet way of life, the trauma of which stillreverberates today.

Certainly, there are challenges to aging and to caring for older loved ones. But there are also benefits and joys to be found in staying active, finding companionship and knowing where to turn for resources.

Just ask the thousands of people who regularly visit senior centers throughout Southeast Michigan or the caregivers who find respite while their loved ones are enjoying themselves in pleasant and productive ways they probably can’t at home.

Detroit PBS is partnering with St. Patrick Senior Center in Detroit for an evening of free, public activities focusing on the needs of older adults and their caregivers. At 6 p.m., the doors of St. Pat will open for a celebration of caregiving, which will include a preview of the PBS documentary “Caregiving” film, produced by famed actor Bradley Cooper, who tells his own personal story of caring for his elderly father as he struggled with cancer.

It is one of the many evocative family dramas highlighted in the film, intertwined with the history of how the nation has met the challenge of supporting caregivers over the years and more often how it has not.

The preview will be followed by a panel discussion by local leaders in caring for our older adults, who will engage in a constructive conversation, also answering audience questions.

SaTrice Coleman-Betts, Executive Director, St. Patrick Senior Center

Ronald Taylor, President and CEO, Detroit Area Agency on Aging
